Tony Klemanski Any good values on a new laptop?

The mother board in my Dell Inspiron 8600 recently failed. I'm thinking of just getting a new one, but don't want to buy or pay for a rocketship. My basic uses are Internet, Microsoft Office suite (brochures/photos, etc.) and the internet based applications that we use here at pru. Would love to just get one with good processing speed, a decent amount of memory that doesn't come loaded with a bunch of applications that I will never use. Any thoughts/suggestions? Continue

Rajeev Sajja Take aways from Inman Real Estate Connect NY 2010

I got a chance to attend the Real Estate Connect 2010 in NY from Wed (1/13) to Fri (1/15) and wanted to summarize my thoughts here. I attended 10 intensive sessions on specific topics besides the Main Conference Program that featured many renowned speakers including Craig Newmark, Founder of Craigslist. The other intangible is to meet some of the people IRL (In Real Life) that I have been following on Twitter for some time. I finally met @phxREguy in the Broker Summit and frankly, he should hav… Continue

Rajeev Sajja Virtual RE Bar Camp - A look back

On Monday, January 4th I attended my first full Virtual RE bar camp (#VREBC) organized by Real Estate Tomato (Jim Cronin and company). I was able to only partially attend the first one back in November but I got all of this! A big shout out to the folks at the Tomato for putting together a fantastic event and all the speakers (yes they were 28, but one could only get 7). Wow! Phenomenal and Kick Ass are the words that come to mind in des… Continue

Rajeev Sajja LinkedIn: Now we have an App for that!

The new LinkedIn iPhone 3.0 App was released on Monday, Dec 28 and by all accounts is a MAJOR upgrade from its predecessor.

It is a business card exchange option built into the app. Any option th… Continue

Rajeev Sajja Dec2009 iPhone Apps - Pick 3

On November 19, I surprised my wife with the iPhone 3GS for her birthday and earned serious brownie points as it was least expected. As a result of that, I have started to use it frequently (and helping her with apps) and decided to pick 3 of my favorite apps every month and share it with you. They are in no specific order and are productivity apps that I have personally used and benefited from. 1. Pic2Shop: In the spirit of the holiday season and finding the best shopping deals, this fr… Continue

Rajeev Sajja In Google We Trust

If you are a real estate professional, being findable has never been more important than now as we see noticeable declines in print media advertising. Being omni present so people can find you starting with Google is more relevant than ever. It is amazing how Google has become a verb as well. I hear "Let's google that!" very regularly now... Over the last few years, Google has become the 800 pound Gorrilla in the Search Engine market and you need to pay attention to your online presence and ho… Continue

Rajeev Sajja iPhone vs Blackberry: Which Smart Phone is right for you?

I decided to write this post due to the noticeable surge in this question from our Sales Associates and Employees. iPhone or the Blackberry? Which one is right for you? Let’s take a step back and ask ourselves this question: What features are your must haves for your smart phone? This will go a long way in deciding which way you go. Also, we are not a proponent of change for the sake of a new toy but change is good if it will make us more productive with the right smart phone. All… Continue

Rajeev Sajja Is Open Office ready for Prime Time?

Wikipedia defines Open source as an approach to the design, development, and distribution of software, offering practical accessibility to a software's source code. It is also looked upon by users as offering a free choice to the more expensive software licensing costs from traditional vendors. One of the Open Source software that is available is from OpenOffice.org, the desktop productivity suite that is a credible (free!) rival to Microsoft Office. I recently installed Open Office 3.1.1 (… Continue

Rajeev Sajja Windows 7 is here. Do you need to upgrade?

October 22nd may be just another day for most of us, but Microsoft is hoping it will be a big day for them with the retail launch of their newest Operating System, Windows 7. Windows 7 is the operating system that Microsoft hoped Vista would have been. I have been using the Windows 7 Release Candidate (RC) on my Fusion VM for a few months now and my overall impressions are positive. It starts up relatively quickly, drivers already exist to make peripherals (scanners, printers etc.) work with it… Continue
